Crimp-haired cutie Stacey Nelkin is a mad, mad, mad, mad girl, beginning her career in a series of wacky comedies like Goin’ Ape (1981), Serial (1980), and “the Mad magazine movie”, Up the Academy (1980). But her most famous movie role may, ironically, be the one that got her zero screen time. She was cast as a “sixth replicant” in the sci-fi cult classic Blade Runner (1982), but due to the film’s bloated budget her part was cut before shooting began. Stacey made the breast of it, though, by starring in the killer-mask movie Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982) that same year. She made her one and only nude film appearance in Halloween III; when she steps out of the shower 38 minutes in and gives us a brief flash of her boobs and bush as she struggles to wrap a towel around herself. Later, in that same movie, she and a guy climb into bed. Stacey is in lingerie then shows a little lactoid when he pulls her top down to suckle on a nipple.
While she still regularly acts, Stacey has drawn upon her experience having relationships with guys like Woody Allen (her relationship with him inspired his movie Manhattan), Warren Beatty, and Barry Bostwick to write a relationship self-help book called “You Can’t Afford to Break Up: How an Empty Wallet and a Dirty Mind Can Save Your Relationship.” She has also has a website and YouTube channel supporting the book and her career as a relationship and parenting expert/counselor. We can only hope she will expertly counsel her way out of her clothes once again.
